Revelation 6:9-11

Evangelical Heritage Version

The Fifth Seal: The Souls Under the Altar

⁹ When the Lamb opened the fifth seal, under the incense altar I saw the souls of those who had been slaughtered because of the word of God and because of the testimony they had maintained. ¹⁰ And they called out with a loud voice, saying, “O Lord, holy and true, how long until you judge and exact justice for our blood from those who live on the earth?” ¹¹ A white robe was given to each one of them. And they were told to rest a little longer until their number would be complete, when their fellow servants and their brothers^[a] would be put to death as they were.
